Software Engineer – Identity & Access Management

About the role

We are seeking a Software Engineer with deep interest and experience in Identity & Access Management (IAM) to help design, build, and secure authentication and authorization capabilities across CoverMyMeds’ platforms. This role sits on a core IAM platform team that owns end-user identity, federated authentication, and authentication infrastructure for web applications, partnering closely with Security, Product, and other engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain authentication and authorization solutions using OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SAML.
• Integrate applications and APIs with identity platforms such as Okta, Auth0, Ping, or Microsoft Entra ID.
• Implement SSO, MFA, federated authentication, session management, and secure token handling.
• Contribute to identity services such as login gateways, authorization middleware, claims transformation, and access policy enforcement.
• Support SMART on FHIR (OAuth 2.0) use cases and unified authentication initiatives.
• Apply industry-standard security practices including least privilege, secure defaults, defense in depth, and secure secret handling.
• Partner with Security on threat modeling, risk reviews, and secure SDLC practices.
• Implement identity solutions aligned with NIST-based identity and access control principles.
• Build production-quality systems using one or more of JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, Python, or C#.
• Write clean, testable, maintainable code with strong engineering discipline (CI/CD, code reviews, automated testing).
• Create clear technical documentation for APIs, integrations, and operational support.
• Participate in on-call or operational support for critical identity services as needed.

Requirements

We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SMART on FHIR, SCIM, directory integrations, or identity lifecycle management.
• Familiarity with RBAC/ABAC, claims-based authorization, or policy engines.
• Experience in regulated environments and audit support.
• Experience improving reliability of critical auth systems (SLIs/SLOs, graceful degradation).

Ways of Working

Work within a Kanban delivery model, managing flow and continuously improving quality and throughput. Collaborate with Product, Security, and stakeholders to define outcomes and manage tradeoffs. Bring an enterprise-first mindset, constructively challenging designs and contributing new ideas.
